Hamden Hall Country Day School

The school is very close to Yale and extremely friendly to international students. International students can enjoy equal resources at this school. What's particularly impressive is the senior student group; an 11th-grade student joined it, and most members are 12th-graders or university students who are all very willing to lead junior students in community service activities. The only drawback is that students cannot live on campus; international students are limited to homestay arrangements.

My child started studying at Hamden Hall in eighth grade. His biggest feeling is that teachers pay very high attention to students, and they respond quickly to extra help requests and out-of-class contact. Another feeling is that the school's academics are very strong, attracting many top students, with a good school culture and a great learning atmosphere. The location is not rural; New York and Boston are accessible by train. New Haven is also a city, a five-minute drive from Yale University, and has a strong academic atmosphere.

I am an alumni parent of Hamden Hall. My child transferred to this school in 10th grade. The school offers a rich variety of AP courses, its academic resources are above average, and there are numerous club activities. STEM is also very strong, and the school places great emphasis on sports. The teachers for choir, band, and art instruction are all very nice, providing children with many opportunities to participate. Teachers are very responsible, balancing care with strictness for the students. Local students are primarily from middle-class families and children of Yale University faculty and staff. The academic atmosphere is excellent. In recent years, international students have achieved very good outcomes.

Hamden Hall's academics are above average. The school has rigorous teaching and abundant AP courses. Teachers provide students with both care and strictness. A particularly outstanding feature is the rich extracurricular activities. The music and art teachers are very nice and offer many opportunities to international students. There are also many sports programs, and the STEM programs are very strong. As an alumnus parent, I am very grateful to all the teachers from the four years of high school.
